The Foundation Day event brought together faculty, staff, students, alumni and well-wishers from across the country.
The premier B-school started from a temporary campus at VNIT with a modest intake of 60 in the first batch in 2015, before moving to the picturesque permanent campus at Mihan-SEZ in 2021. "Phase 2 and 3 of the Nagpur campus development are set to commence soon, forming a key part of IIM-Nagpur's broader vision for academic excellence, infrastructure expansion, and long-term institutional growth," said IIM-N director Bhimaraya Metri.
The celebration began with Metri inaugurating a new Pickleball Court, symbolising IIM-Nagpur's continued commitment to student wellness and holistic growth through sports and recreation. A special highlight was the felicitation of seven staff members who have been with the institute since its inception, completing 10 years of dedicated service. Their contributions were recognised as the foundation upon which the institute has grown.
Metri also unveiled a Coffee Table Book capturing the institute's decade-long journey of excellence, milestones, and memorable moments, serving as a visual chronicle of IIM Nagpur's growth and impact. In his keynote address, Metri said, "In 2021, we successfully launched both our Executive Education and PhD programmes, and in 2022 we introduced the Executive MBA in Pune, a significant milestone that extends our impact beyond Nagpur.

The IIM-N director highlighted the campus also achieved a GRAHA green building rating, thanks to its energy-efficient design and sustainable infrastructure. "This is an acknowledgement of our commitment to environmental responsibility," he said and emphasised, "At IIM Nagpur, students are at the heart of everything we do; they define our culture, drive our purpose, and shape the future of this institution."
In a community outreach initiative, 79 students from 18 schools across Nagpur visited the IIM-Nagpur campus to participate in educational and creative competitions. Events such as the drawing competition and Impromptu Speech were held to foster creativity, expression, and early exposure to a higher education environment. The vibrant participation brought youthful energy to the milestone event.
Professor Prashan Gupta (dean-faculty & academics), professor Alok Kumar Singh (dean – executive education), professor Sujit K Sharma (dean-research), and Lt Col Alur (retd) (chief administrative officer) also expressed their views.

As tech disrupts business landscape, mid-career execs return to classrooms to acquire new skills
New Delhi: Mid-career working professionals preparing to take up leadership roles are increasingly signing up for MBA programmes at top business schools, as they seek to deepen strategic capabilities and gain new skills to stay relevant when technology constantly reshapes the way companies operate. Some B-schools have also seen an increase in female applicants this year compared with last, said officials at Indian Institutes of Management and the Indian School of Business.

Meanwhile, corporate India is stepping up efforts to improve gender equality at the management level, inducting more women to leadership roles, a possible reason for the increased female participation in these programmes. IIM-Ahmedabad has seen a 10-15% increase in applications for the one-year full-time MBA (MBA-PGPX) programme in each of the last couple of years, said Amit Karna, the institute's chairperson for the MBA-PGPX programme. The number of women enrolled increased by nearly 45% in the same period. The number of applicants has increased at IIM-Lucknow and IIM-Indore as well. Lucknow has also witnessed an upswing in female candidates, said a spokesperson. Both IIM-Lucknow and IIM-Indore said the profile of executive MBA candidates has evolved significantly in recent years. 'The participants come from various domains with an average age of 34-36 years and an average work experience of 12-14 years,' said IIM-Indore director Himanshu Rai. At IIM Shillong, executive MBA is a full-time one-year residential programme, also known as Post Graduate Programme for Executives (PGPEx). Enrolments have increased here from 49 in 2023 to 55 in 2025 while the number of female students has almost doubled from eight in 2023 to 15 in 2025, director in-charge Nalini Prabha Tripathi said. In 2023 and 2024, IIM-Shillong had more executives joining from traditional corporate profiles like banking, consulting, engineering. In 2025, it is more of entrepreneurial, cross-functional and digitally fluent professionals, according to dean academics Rohit Joshi at Shillong. IIM-Lucknow is witnessing a greater diversity in industry backgrounds, with professionals from healthcare, IT and entrepreneurship joining alongside those from traditional domains like manufacturing and finance. ISB's PGP MAX, a 15-month global executive MBA equivalent programme, is seeing a consistent interest from industries such as ITeS, professional services, R&D, banking and financial services, government, defence, energy and the public sector. ISB's PGP MAX programme comprises 24 courses structured around eight cross-functional themes and executive coaching, said deputy dean, Academic Programmes, Deepa Mani. 'Notably, candidates from IT, fintech, and engineering backgrounds have successfully pivoted into strategic and product-oriented roles upon completion of the programme,' said Karna of IIM-Ahmedabad. At IIM-Lucknow, 93% of its IPMX Class of 2025 received job offers with the highest CTC touching Rs 53 lakh per annum, the institute said.

IIM-Ahmedabad's Dubai campus set to redefine India's educational soft power: Institute director
The Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), one of India's most prestigious business schools, is all set to launch its first international campus in Dubai this September. The ambitious expansion, envisioned by IIM-Ahmedabad Director Bharat Bhasker in 2023, will begin operations with a one-year MBA programme and introduce two key research centres, one dedicated to case study development and the other focused on start-up incubation. Bhasker, in conversation with IANS at IIM-A, expressed immense satisfaction over the swift execution of the plan. "The Dubai campus is something I envisioned in 2023, and now I'm happy to see it materialise. I'll be visiting the campus next week," he shared. "We've curated the curriculum with a regional lens, drawing on case studies and business practices relevant to the Middle East and Africa." The move comes after IIM-A signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government in April this year. The agreement, signed in Mumbai, officially established the Dubai campus in the Dubai International Academic City, making IIM-A the first among India's management institutes to set up an overseas campus. Bhasker sees this as a moment of strategic significance not only for the institute but for India as a whole. "While Western countries are increasingly shutting their doors to international students, India must seize the moment. Education is India's most potent soft power, and this campus is a strategic tool in building long-lasting influence," he said. "Just as China uses its manufacturing and trade to build global influence, India must leverage its strength in quality education and its English-speaking workforce. If India wants to be the leader of the Global South, this is the way," he said. The new campus aims to attract a wide array of students from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, North Africa, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The first cohort will comprise around 40 to 50 students, with the long-term goal of scaling up to a 900-student capacity over the next decade. According to Bhasker, Dubai was a natural choice. "We've been offering executive education in the region for years. The familiarity and trust we've built made it a logical step forward," he said. The launch comes at a time when global applications to MBA programmes are facing a downturn. According to data, there was a 5 per cent reduction in applications to graduate business schools worldwide in 2023, the second consecutive year of decline. Bhasker, however, remains optimistic about India's prospects. "The global numbers may be declining in the US or Europe, but India is different. We have a young population, a fast-growing economy, now the third-largest globally. As opportunities grow, so does the demand for skilled managers. That's where institutions like IIMA come into play," he said. When asked what makes a good manager today, Bhasker responded with clarity: "Commitment and vision are important, but most of all, empathy. Business is often reduced to profit and loss, but empathy takes you a long way." Looking ahead, Bhasker shared an exciting next step for the IIM-A campus: the establishment of a School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. "The way we traditionally taught management doesn't work anymore. The way we teach management today is very different from the past. Today, AI, technology, and science are integral to leadership and decision-making. Management curriculum and the way institutes teach must evolve," he said. "Being proactive is essential," he said. The Dubai campus is not merely an international expansion; it is a strategic, future-facing initiative rooted in regional relevance, educational diplomacy, and an evolving idea of what management education should look like in the 21st century.

Nippon Paint launches n-Shield PPF in India, eyes car surface care leadership
For over 140 years, Nippon Paint has built its reputation on protecting surfaces through coatings. Now, in a calculated extension of that legacy, the Japanese major is taking the leap from paint protection to paint protection film. Its newly launched brand, n-Shield, marks a strategic and ambitious foray into the growing world of automotive surface care. At a packed event in New Delhi, the message from the company's top brass was clear: this is not just a product launch — it's the beginning of an entirely new business vertical. Nippon Paint has launched its n-SHIELD paint protection film (PPF) brand in India, aiming to formalise the country's fragmented vehicle surface care market. With India as the global hub, n-Shield offers films, coatings, and detailing products backed by warranties and trained applicators. The move comes at a time when India's market for Paint Protection Films (PPF) is still underpenetrated, fragmented, and dominated by unorganised players. Today, less than 2–3 per cent of new vehicles in India opt for PPF, compared to 20 per cent and rising in mature markets like China and the U.S. Most of what is available to Indian consumers comes from low-cost Chinese imports, with no warranty backing, uneven product quality, and application inconsistencies, the company noted.

'Paints were always about protection and aesthetics. Now, we can protect paint itself — and that's where films come in," said Sharad Malhotra, President, Nippon Paint India Automotive Division. n-Shield is the outcome of four years of R&D, carried out across Japan, China, and India, with its India launch following an international debut in Thailand. From its new global business unit in Manesar, the company is placing India at the heart of this transformation — not just as a consumer base, but as a hub for product development, training, distribution, and future exports. Why now? India's moment in the PPF evolution The company's timing isn't coincidental. India's car market is maturing. Vehicle ownership is stretching beyond five years, buyers are more resale-conscious, and aesthetics now carry weight in both urban and semi-urban pockets. At the same time, the current PPF value chain is heavily fragmented — dominated by unbranded, inconsistent products, installed by poorly trained applicators. 'There's interest but no institution," said Rakesh Handoo, Director – Marketing & Surface Care. 'This is where Nippon brings structure, trust, and a brand promise." Also Read : Ceramic coating vs PPF: Which paint protection to choose for your car While countries like China are seeing high double-digit PPF penetration, India is just beginning to build awareness. But Nippon Paint isn't waiting for the market to mature. It wants to shape it — by creating not just a product line, but an entire surface care ecosystem. More than just a film: Inside the n-Shield portfolio At the core of n-Shield lies a portfolio that goes well beyond the conventional definition of paint protection. Developed with India's diverse climate and challenging road conditions in mind, the offering includes paint protection films in a variety of finishes — gloss, matte, coloured, and even custom design variants. These are aimed not just at shielding vehicle surfaces, but also offering a level of personalisation that reflects the growing sophistication of Indian car buyers. The range is complemented by headlamp protection films, designed to combat heat-related deterioration and the yellowing often caused by prolonged UV exposure — a recurring issue in India's high-radiation zones. In addition, there are dedicated films for sunroofs and windshields, intended to reduce chipping and retain visual clarity in regions where dust and gravel are part of everyday driving conditions. What rounds out the offering is a suite of ceramic coatings and detailing products — from shampoos and waxes to quick-detailing sprays — clearly aimed at customers who view vehicle upkeep as an extension of personal care. This is all supported by 5-, 7-, and 10-year warranty options, backed by a QR code-linked digital e-warranty system. This is a notable departure from the largely informal structure that governs the current PPF segment in India, where documentation and accountability have often been afterthoughts rather than standard practice. Features that aim to set a new benchmark What sets n-Shield apart in an increasingly crowded and loosely organised market is the depth of technical intent behind its development. Unlike many imported films that are simply rebadged and redistributed, n-Shield has been engineered by a company that knows coatings inside out. This understanding of surface chemistry, durability and weathering gives Nippon Paint an inherent advantage — resulting in films that combine hydrophobic behaviour, self-healing properties, and resistance to UV degradation, all tailored for India's uniquely harsh driving and climate conditions. Just as critical as product quality is application — an area where the PPF space in India continues to fall short. Recognizing this, Nippon Paint is creating a branded chain of n-Shield Studios that will deliver high quality and service on a consistent basis by geographies. These franchise outlets will be backed by specialized training academies where applicators learn the subtleties of film handling, cutting accuracy and bonding — abilities that have a direct impact on performance and satisfaction. The company says that paints were always about protection and aesthetics. Now, we can protect paint itself — and that's where films come in. (L-R) Rakesh Handoo, Director – Marketing & Surface Care and Sharad Malhotra, President, Nippon Paint India Automotive Division (Mohd Nasir for HT Auto) The company has already roped in 40 distributors, with plans to reach 100 cities by the end of 2024. This is not an opportunistic rollout. It reflects a clear intent to create an ecosystem where standardisation, warranty-backed assurance, and consumer trust are non-negotiables. For Nippon Paint, the ambition is not just to sell protective films — it is to build a credible and scalable category around them. Market positioning: Mainstream premium with structured value In a market where low-end Chinese films compete on price and international brands on aspiration, n-Shield aims to build a 'mainstream premium' identity. Full-body wraps will cost between ₹65,000 and ₹1.2 lakh, depending on the grade — affordable for premium hatchbacks and sedans, but backed by a brand name, service standard, and warranty. 'We are not here to be the cheapest. We're here to be trusted," said Handoo. He added, 'This is not just for luxury cars. This is for anyone who cares about how their car looks five years later." Interestingly, the company is not rushing into e-commerce or direct-to-consumer sales. Instead, it's building application-led touchpoints that offer both awareness and conversion — a model it believes is more sustainable in the long run. Also Read : Researchers develop car coating that can self-heal scratches in sunlight Cracking the PPF market: Organising what's been informal India's PPF space today mirrors what the car paint segment looked like two decades ago — fragmented, inconsistent, and devoid of brand equity. Nippon Paint sees a repeat opportunity — to organise, educate, and lead. The plan is to first capture aftermarket mindshare, and then move upstream into OEM partnerships. Work is already underway with select carmakers to co-develop films that can be applied at the dealer or even factory level — beginning with headlamp and roof films that demand higher adhesive stability and precision. 'OEMs are warming up slowly. They see the value but want reliable partners. That's what we intend to be," Malhotra explained. India as the global hub: Not just a market, but a mandate India is more than just a testing ground. It is now the global headquarters for Nippon's surface care business unit — responsible for product development, exports, and eventually, film manufacturing. Exports of aftermarket paints from India have already reached over 20 countries, and the same roadmap is being drawn for n-Shield. 'We're not exporting leftovers. We're exporting what we've developed in India, for the world," Handoo pointed out. Manufacturing of PPF films in India is also on the cards, though currently the films are being sourced from Japan. Localisation will depend on demand volumes and infrastructure viability. From paint provider to surface solutions partner Through n-Shield, Nippon Paint is recasting its identity in India's mobility ecosystem. No longer just a paint supplier to OEMs, it now wants to own a visible, high-trust space in the lives of vehicle owners. This is not about chasing volume alone. It's about building a repeatable, scalable, and trusted surface protection business — from the workshop floor to the customer's driveway. 'This is not a product extension. This is a new business," Malhotra summed up. 'And we're here to build it for the long term." Rethinking paint in an era of extended ownership While the spotlight was on paint protection films, Nippon Paint's core strength remains in coatings, and the company is equally focused on how automotive paint itself is evolving in the Indian context. As car ownership cycles get longer and consumers increasingly seek a 'new car feel" well into their vehicle's lifecycle, paint durability, colour consistency, and repainting quality are becoming key differentiators in the aftermarket. The Nippon n-Shield lineup will include PPFs, headlamp protecttion, sunroof and moonroof protection along with ceramic coatings (Mohd Nasir for HT Auto) According to Malhotra, traditional repainting in India still suffers from inconsistent quality and low consumer confidence, especially at smaller workshops. Nippon sees this as an opportunity to bring OEM-level finish standards into the aftermarket, not just through products, but also through application systems, trained technicians, and water-based technology. The company has already begun pilot programs with MasterCraft, its branded body and paint workshop format, to deliver controlled, high-quality repainting experiences. These outlets are also being considered as future touchpoints for n-Shield installations — creating a seamless surface care experience from paint to film. From colour matching to carbon neutrality In keeping with global sustainability goals, Nippon is also pushing the envelope in introducing low-VOC and water-based paints in the Indian market. While solvent-based solutions still dominate, especially in the two-wheeler aftermarket, the company believes that stricter regulations and rising consumer awareness will drive gradual migration toward environment-friendly formulations. Internally, there is already a clear mandate: any new formulation, whether for OE or aftermarket use, must be future-ready, meeting the highest global benchmarks for durability, environmental impact, and application safety. The leadership believes that paint — once seen as a purely aesthetic product — will increasingly be judged on its sustainability credentials, particularly as OEMs move toward greener manufacturing.'Paint is no longer just about colour — it's about contribution," said Malhotra.
